Side fact. With the new Zuke 300 and 350, there is an optional plug in connector that makes the motor run in the opposite direction. Install the plug and change the prop and you have a CCW motor. Quite cool.

Good point about the starting fluid

absolutely not for Rain-X in general. I am not familiar with Rain-X Plastic. Regardless, If I had new Strataglass, I would use the product they recommend.

The specs for the prop are often stamped inside the inner hub. That means that you have to remove the prop to see them. My 208 with similar motor and same prop barely makes 5000 revs WOT. It's been like that for many years. Top speed is about 32 knots (GPS speed). If I play with the trim I can...

"Have to use the trim buttons on the control independently" As opposed to what? When the trim on the motor changes is it always in the same direction? If so, a trim button may be intermittently activating. If it got turned on in the up position, you would notice as the prop blows out but if it...

If you got a good tool the caps generally will unscrew. I use tools from Marine Tech Tools https://marinetech.com/ They are expensive but very well made with replaceable hardened pins. If the caps don't unscrew you may need to use a chisel and a mini sledge to bite into the edge of the cap to...

I wouldn't expect all coils to go bad at the same time. One thing I didn't think of earlier is vapor lock. That could explain the no fire. Do you vhave a clear bowl fuel filter on the motor? If so when the issue occurs, pull the cowling and see how much gas is in the bowl. It should not be empty...

Does the alarm horn sound when you try to start it? If so, does it stay on ? Does the horn act the same as when the motor starts?

One other simple thing to try is when the issue pops up, open the fuel filler cap and try again. It's a long shot but a faulty or slow gas vent in combination with a lift pump issues might explain the problem ( OK, I really don't think so but it is a simple test) Also please clarify what the...

The diagram wont be in the owners manual, it would be in the Service manual. Some of the generic service manual like you would find at places like West Marine would probably have the engine wiring diagram. As mentioned, harness and everything forward of the engine won't be in a service manual...

Does it crank and nor fire up or does it do nothing? The problem sounds like it may be heat soak. After running, and then shutting down, a motor might continue to heat up and some parts that weren't very hot before get hotter. These issues assuming the motor cranks but doesn't start could be...

Thanks for the info. I asked because the Saltwater Series 150s do not store hour data. When I saw 2001 150, I assumed it was an SX.

wiring diagram for the engine would normally be in the service manual, Wiring for the harness, dash gauges ,batteries, key switch etc would be in the Yamaha rigging guide. O do not have one for 2019 or near to that motor year. If you are saying that the trim angle of your motor changes as you...

How did you determine the motor hours? Is the engine a SX150? The top appears to be aftermarket , maybe Atlantic Towers model. Were the curtains made custom for that top?

Interesting idea. I looked up that Lansdale valve and it is brass which typically is not recommended in a marine environment. Was that a concern at all? My other comment is a bit petty for sure but double hose clamp applications should have one clamp installed in the opposite direction of the...

Those parts are hard to come by and would probably find a buyer quickly but... Determining what models and model years used the same frame will help find a buyer quicker. On the other hand, packing and shipping if needed can be very expensive. Finding a buyer who will pick it up is preferable

The Sailrite pattern material works very well, holds its shape, sticks to the double sided tape and marks clearly with a sharpie. It also to a point can be reused for smaller projects. For your application, it helps a lot to also use the strapping tape to make a 'frame' across the open area so...

What does that vent hose vent?

I am not sure I can do that:)

I am glad you didn't have problems but I think if more folks chime in you will hear a lot of folks who have not been so lucky with Ventures.
